I have 3 parcels of adjoining commercial property in Wayne County, MI. How do I join all 3 into 1 parcel?

Question

I heard that if I combine all 3 pieces, I will have to pay school tax only once instead of 3 times. How exactly do I go about combining my property? Do I contact the County? City? Thanks!

Answer 1

Usually this is done on request by the Assessor's office, which is probably a County office where you are. If you ask nicely, they can probably tell you the projected tax implications for it. It may not make any difference at all.

Answer 2

Be sure you want to do that. Sometimes it is more advantageous to have land partitioned, for instance if there are any environmental issues on the land, etc.
